1. An endoscope apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
conduct an analysis to determine whether an endoscope image has been appropriately captured;
acquire correction restriction information including at least one of a restriction regarding a size of a lumen of an image-captured portion or a restriction regarding a submucosa state of the image-captured portion;
generate correction information regarding correction of image-capturing conditions for allowing the endoscope image to be appropriately captured under a restriction of the correction restriction information in a case where it is analyzed that the endoscope image has not been appropriately captured and output the correction information on a monitor; and
when it is determined that the submucosa state is rough, generate and output, as the correction information, information for guiding an endoscope operation for allowing an endoscope to be in an image-capturing position or an image-capturing angle that does not contact the rough submucosa.
